Display a PDF inside a frame created within another PDF using JavaScript in Adobe Acrobat

I want to display the selected pages of a PDF(existing in local machine) inside a window/frame of another PDF file(existing in local machine) in ADOBE Acrobat. How can i go about it . I searched online but i seem to not find any solution . If there is any other way to do this without using java script, is acceptable too.
You may have missed the keywords…
What is pretty common and easy to implement is importing the according page as an icon in a Button field.
The simplest approach would be using the buttonImportIcon() Acrobat JavaScript method (note the requirements for higher privileges). This method allows you to specify the file and the page to be imported.
If you're only doing this when you're authoring the PDF and it doesn't need to be dynamically created, you can simply add a button field and then set the icon property to the PDF you want to show. If you need to do it programmatically, Max's answer will also work.

Pagination with lot of pages

Hi i got a question about pagination. First of all, im new at html and javascript.
Ok, here is my doubt. Im building a website from cero. Im not using any web editor.
I filled the index.html with enough content (based on what i think is enough).
Now i want to add a new page with new content, and this page will be my new index.html, and the first index.html will be page-2.html (for example).
And I will be adding a new page like every 3 days, so what happens when I got more than 30 or 40 pages?
I know how to do a pagination, but i want to know if there`s a way to have a pagination without having to change name of pages every time?
Like a dynamic pagination or something like that. I dont know how to do it. I have been searching but I found nothing.
-Is there a way to do it with javascript?
-I don´t have knowledge about PHP.
-Thanks for your answer in advance.
Consider the datatables.net library. It paginates for you: https://datatables.net/reference/api/
Only javascript solution :
You don't have to rename pages nor having multiple pages.
What you need to do is create a sinlge long pages with content separated liek this for exemple
<article>
Content 1
</article>
<article>
Content 2
</article>
...
And then simply do a pagination since you know how to do that.
And display element like, first of pagination show article 1 to 5
and display:none the other etc...
However this is clearly not a good idea mostly due to time of loading. The way you should do is to use php and sql to store your content in database and display it calling the server (with php).

Generate PDF of a section of a php page once rendered into HTML and CSS and account for pdf page-breaks

The system I am working on has a questionnaire in it and then shows the responses to the admin in a nice report on screen. I need to create functionality that turns the on screen report into a pdf, similar to how the browser generates a pdf of the page when you select print. Although I need to only turn a section of the page into pdf. And it would be ideal to be able to alter the HTML so that the pdf page breaks don't interfere with the presentation of the report.
You can download a pdf of how the report looks, generated by the browser functionality. This is just an example, I need the pdf to be generated by a link or button and not include the whole page (the top part in this case).
I have tried some php HTML to pdf generators, but it's difficult because the HTML is dynamically generated so I'm not sure how to send all the HTML, once rendered, to the page that creates the pdf.
To overcome the page breaks, I've considered using javascript or jquery to read the height of the div of each question within the report and then write a simple script to calculate if the next div will fit on the page and if not add a margin on top of that div so that it starts on a new page.
What software can I use to generate the pdf, given these requirements? Either php or javascript. Appreciate the help.
Have you considered Snappy for PHP? It makes use of wkhtmltopdf behind the curtains to convert any HTML document into PDF.
We are using it and it works great.

You could try mpdf and use the page-break-inside: avoid property which is actually a CSS property. I have not used this, but it might be what you're looking for.
Looks like you can add this property to the <div> and <table> tags (mPDF Supported CSS).

codeigniter render html to image

I have a page that needs to be printed to a 'A4' content. So I've tried to use the mPDF library. In that page, I have a calendar content. At first I used CI's Calendar, and when I rendered it to mPDF it works perfectly. But I recently changed the calendar to a jquery calendar due to user's specification. So I changed it using FullCalendar.
When I passed it to mPDF, it displayed my other content in that page, but the javascript for the FullCalendar didn't appear in the PDF.
I was thinking to change my output to an image. Is there any tools (meaning libraries) to change my output to image and display it in the browser?
Note : There is javascript and css in my page, which I've read that most pdf generating tools can't render either javascript or css, or both.
You might try using canvas to create an image of the screen and then sending it to your PDF creator. I realize this isn't a full fledged answer, but it's something I'm looking into for a similar purpose. This question has some more details.

Download textarea contents as a file using only Javascript (no server-side)
Basically I have a live html editor in javascript and I want to add the ability for the user to click a button or link and download their html document. My idea was just to download the file with the contents of the textarea element, but I can't seem to find out how.
I do have php if any server-side things are needed, it doesn't have to be strictly javascript but I want an option to do this. Thanks! And please comment because sometimes my questions can be rather confusing :|
Well there is an another simple way to do this on the client side itself, i believe that will be a best fit for you because, the html editing is done on the client side and you dont need any server data.
http://pixelgraphics.us/downloadify/test.html
the above component lets us download a content from the client side and WYSIWYG editor is a DIV with a Contenteditable true attribute which allows editing, so you can get the html content and pass it on to this component for client side download
